New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 3-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, one run, and one walk in a 5-4 loss to the Orioles on Wednesday. He continues to show why he is the best hitter in baseball, and his .427/.521/.761 slash line is almost unbelievable. This was his fourth straight multi-hit game and his third home run over that span. Judge could potentially make a run at the triple crown this season and is making his case to be the first overall pick of 2026 fantasy drafts.


Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito tossed a quality start in his first game of the season on Wednesday in a 7-6 loss to the Blue Jays. He struck out seven while allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over six innings. He didn't break a sweat through the first five innings, holding Toronto scoreless with just three hits and a walk. He began to unravel a bit in the sixth, allowing all three of his earned runs on a walk and two home runs. Overall, it was a very promising start for someone who hasn't pitched in a major league game since 2023. The former ace is finally healthy again and is worth an add in fantasy in case he starts to look like his old self again.

Cleveland Guardians first base prospect C.J. Kayfus went 2-for-5 with a long ball during his Triple-A debut on Wednesday. Kayfus enjoyed a strong start to the season at Double-A and was rewarded with an early promotion. Kayfus has already carried his momentum to the top level of the minor leagues. Across 18 games at Double-A earlier this season, the No. 8-ranked prospect in the system posted a stellar .364/.475/.591 slash line with four doubles, four triples, one home run, and two stolen bases. Last summer, Kayfus spent most of his time with Double-A, where he held a .263/.366/.470 line with 10 home runs across 67 contests. Fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on Kayfus' production at Triple-A as he could be in the mix for his MLB debut in the coming months.

Chicago White Sox infield prospect Jeral Perez has begun to find his swing at High-A. On Wednesday, Perez enjoyed his best game of the young season as he went 2-for-5 with two long balls and brought in three runs. Over his last five games, Perez has posted a strong .273/.333/.727 slash line with one double and three home runs. Prior to this surge, Perez held a modest .230/.333/.525 line over his first 17 games at the level. Last summer, Perez spent all of his time at Low-A, split between Rancho and Kannapolis. Across 105 games, Perez held a .262/.370/.423 slash line with 25 doubles, 12 home runs, and four stolen bases. Fantasy managers should expect the No. 20-ranked prospect on the Southside to spend most of the campaign at High-A.

New York Mets third base prospect Jacob Reimer went 3-for-5 with three home runs and five RBI during Wednesday's contest against High-A Wilmington. This was another impressive outing for Reimer, who has been swinging a hot bat through the early part of the High-A regular season. Through his first 21 games of the campaign, the Yucaipa HS product has held an impressive .318/.383/.659 slash line with eight doubles, three home runs, and five home runs. Last summer, Reimer earned a brief taste of High-A ball but struggled as he held a .196/.327/.261 slash line with no home runs across a 14-game stint. Given his impressive start to the season, fantasy managers should expect the No. 21-ranked prospect in the New York system to push for his Double-A debut later this summer.
